The “Slightly Dirty Summer Tour” 2024 brings together reggae rock giants Slightly Stoopid and Dirty Heads. This tour is going to rock, and kicks off on July 11 for a 23 stop nationwide journey! Both bands are at the top of their games and beautifully blend reggae, rock and hip hop influence.

Reggae rock’s rise continues to shred guitars around the world and we’d have to say this was another gem of a year for the release of reggae rock albums and live music. Here are five 2023 reggae rock albums that stood out to Daily Reggae!

2023 was a massive year for live music and let’s be honest, it’s hard to beat a reggae concert! Reggae artists and bands toured the world playing to both sold out venues and new growing fan bases. Here are five national reggae tours that stood out to us in 2023.

Plan your winter getaway to the Lake Tahoe Winter Reggae Festival. The two day festival is set for February 17 - 18, 2024 and features reggae superstars like Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, Stephen Marley, Stick Figure, Collie Buddz, and The Movement.

Every once in a while, there’s an album created that’s just full to the brim with tracks that could easily be top notch singles, every last one of them, as if it were a “greatest hits” compilation. The Elovaters have decided to drop an album that lives up to that exact description!

See your favorite bands like Pepper, Tribal Seeds, Fortunate Youth and HIRIE in San Diego at Mission Bayfest 2023. The two day festival is running September 29th and 30th and has a stellar lineup!

P-Nuckle’s “Today” featuring Kash’d Out and Big Murph is a reminder to live in the moment and to celebrate every second of life. The Denver based band has been together since 2000 and Katastro’s Andy Chaves inspired this big time jam!

The Elovaters continue their string of easy listening singles with the release of “M.I.A” The acoustic driven track gives a touch of country, with Nashville style piano and slide guitar, but longtime fans of The Elovaters will still clearly hear their recognizable sound. It’s a satisfying twist and the subtle mix of genres will keep this song on playlists all summer long.

Turn up at the Mammoth Reggae Festival 2023 with big time reggae artists like Eli Mac, The Elovaters and Arise Roots. The 13th Annual Mammoth Reggae Festival will be held July 21 - 23, 2023 and feature top talent reggae musicians like Pacific Dub, Inna Vision, Eureka Sound, and Kyle Smith.

Reggae superstars Stick Figure, Ziggy Marley and Rebelution will play this year’s Levitate Music and Arts Festival. The annual Marshfield, Massachusetts-based festival always brings so many good vibes, and you’ll also see fan favorites like Ripe, The Elovaters, Collie Buddz, and G. Love & Special Sauce!

This edition of Song of the Week is “Sunlight” by The Elovaters. The perfect track to get you excited for warm water and warmer weather, The Elovaters combine their trademark laidbark vibe with massive pop-punk vibes.

Festivals have started, the weather is getting warmer, and the reggae season is in full swing. To celebrate, this week’s SOTW is “Sleepin on the couch” by Ballyhoo! ft The Elovaters. The fun, beach rock track delivers a laid back groove, spacey synth and guest vocals from The Elovaters.

Stick Figure’s 2022 “Wisdom” album was one of my favorite reggae albums of the year, and it’s so exciting to see that the reggae rockers have dropped tour dates for the “Wisdom Tour” featuring Pepper and The Elovaters! These shows are going to be so chill and fun!

Turn it up tonight with The Elovaters and Little Stranger’s “All Her Favorite Songs”. The Boston-based reggae rockers are back at it again and their latest single released via Belly Full Records is so chill!
